'''Postscript comics,''' also called '''''{{Wikipedia|Omake|omake}}''''' in Japanese, are short bonus comics sometimes included at the end of manga ''{{Wikipedia|Tankōbon|tankōbon}}''.

== Overview ==
The postscript comics in Trigun follow [[Yasuhiro Nightow]] as he talks to the viewer, often in a comical fashion, about various things regarding ''Trigun'', such as the publication status of the manga ''tankōbon,'' the production of the [[Trigun (1998 anime)|anime]], and the [[toylines]], and other things he finds interesting. [[Kuroneko-sama]] usually accompanies him in these comics, where she is able to speak, usually reprimanding Nightow for being incomprehensible or his over-the-top reactions to things.

All of Nightow's postscript comics for [[Trigun & Trigun Maximum|''Trigun'' and ''Trigun Maximum'']] were included in the [[TRIGUN ARCHIVES|''TRIGUN ARCHIVES'']] art book.

==== [[Trigun Maximum Volume 1: Hero Returns|''Trigun Maximum Volume 1: Hero Returns'']] ====
Kuroneko watches as Nightow excitedly bursts in and shares what things he's thought about and incorporated into the story (depicted as a surreal doodle). He then explains how the [[Trigun (1998 anime)|anime]] started when he was still working on the manga and about the ''Trigun'' manga story continues as ''Trigun Maximum'' in this volume. He apologizes for the delayed publication of ''Trigun Volume 3'', thanks the readers for liking his characters, and hopes they are looking forward to volume 2 of ''Maximum''.

Nightow excitedly announces the [[Trigun The Planet Gunsmoke (Kaiyodo)|Trigun The Planet Gunsmoke toyline]] from [[Kaiyodo]] and Toytribe. He explains that the toyline is a different "world" from the ''Trigun'' [[Manga continuity|manga]] and [[Anime continuity|anime]] worlds. He also shares that the American company [[McFarlane Toys]] has made a Vash action figure, to which he was surprised that ''Trigun'' has become popular in America. Nightow thanks everyone and says he will continue to do his best.

==== [[Trigun Maximum Volume 6: The Gunslinger|''Trigun Maximum Volume 6: The Gunslinger'']] ====
Nightow mentions that the previous volume did not have an ''omake,'' so this one will be longer while Kuroneko-sama reprimands him for taking too long in his intro. Nightow talks about how much he loves the McFarlane Vash figure, showing himself surrounded by them. On the following page, he shares his concept sketch of Vash for the figure that he'd sent to McFarlane Toys. Nightow recounts on his visit to McFarlane's headquarters in New Jersey, which looked nothing how he expected (imagined as cloaked figures huddled around a cauldron labeled "Source of Figurines," which is spewing out ghosts). Nightow then reminiscies about how he'd made wax "Samurai Wars" models when he was younger. Nightow thanks the Pioneer USA staff before abruptly changing the subject to how there is much more ''Trigun'' to come and thanks the readers.

==== [[Trigun Maximum Volume 7: Happy Days|''Trigun Maximum Volume 7: Happy Days'']] ====
Nightow, dressed as a pirate and sailing on an "Otaku boat," travels to various islands, first Manga Island, then Anime Island, then Action Figure Island, and finally, Game Island (where he is now dressed as {{Wikipedia|Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link from ''The Legend of Zelda''}}). Nightow announces his upcoming video game, ''Gungrave'', for the PlayStation 2. Kuroneko asks him what the game is about, and Nightow responds that it is an action game about lively gun battles with destructable environments.

==== [[Trigun Maximum Volume 8: Silent Ruin|''Trigun Maximum Volume 8: Silent Ruin'']] ====
Nightow is relaxing at an ''{{Wikipedia|Onsen|onsen}}'' because he had been shut-in at home for a while. He is working on the manga while there, sharing that he struggles with budgeting his time and is easily distracted, so he needs to get away sometimes. Nightow experiences writer's block as he tries to work on the manga so he takes a break in the hot springs repeatedly until he is too tired to work, which Kuroneko-reprimands him for.

==== [[Trigun Maximum Volume 9: LR|''Trigun Maximum Volume 9: LR'']] ====
Characters from the ''Gungrave'' anime and ''Gungrave Overdose'' appear and stomp on Nightow. [[Nicholas D. Wolfwood (manga)|Wolfwood]], angry and bleeding, crushes a very wounded Nightow with the Punisher as [[Vash the Stampede (manga)|Vash]] looks on in the backgound. Wolfwood yells at Nightow. Nightow laments being caught in a death spiral of his own complaints before announcing that the ''Gungrave'' TV anime had just begun airing. He invited [[Yōsuke Kuroda]], the scriptwriter for the anime, to his studio to celebrate. Kuroda arrived looking very ominous and unnerving, and Nightow learned he had already drunk four cans of beer and had been awake for fifty hours. Despite that, they watched the first episode of ''Gungrave'' seven times.

==== [[Trigun Maximum Volume 11: Zero Hour|''Trigun Maximum Volume 11: Zero Hour'']] ====
Nightow, depicted as a puppet, introduces himself as "Masuda Jigsaw," accompanied by Japanese singer {{Wikipedia|Kaela Kimura|Kaera Kimura}}. Nightow is amazed that ''Trigun'' is doing well and being published all over the world, and that they even bother to translate his silly postscripts. Nightow address the overseas readers and thanks them. He is suddenly dropkicked by a flying robot and Kaera Kimura is revealed to be Kuroneko holding her head on a stick. Nightow shares what he had been doing the past year, which he realizes was a lot and states that he lives an interesting and strange life. He then passionately roars that he's no good at words, and that's why he draws manga. Nightow states he probably left the readers very confused this time before waving goodbye.

==== [[Trigun Maximum Volume 12: The Gunslinger|''Trigun Maximum Volume 12: The Gunslinger'']] ====
Nightow talks about how it's been awhile since the last book and that he's been working. He shares the most exciting thing to happen to him in the past year--discovering the Swiss company [https://www.freitag.ch/en Freitag]'s bags made of recycled materials. He explains how they are made from pieces of different recycled materials so no two look the same, which makes it hard to ever have a complete collection. Nightow then says the manga story will soon be coming to an end.

==== [[Trigun Maximum Volume 13: Double Duel|''Trigun Maximum Volume 13: Double Duel'']] ====
Nightow dramatically falls to the sky and crashes to the ground, witnessed by Kuroneko. Nightow, now dressed as Japanese professional wrestler {{Wikipedia|Yoshihiro Sakai|Muscle Sakai}}, introduces himself, but breaks down crying because he'd been procrastinating. He talks about how he'd used to get along so well with manga, but now found it scary and feels very worn-down from working on it. He then changes the subject to talk about [https://revoltech.fandom.com/wiki/Assemble_Borg Assemble Borg] toyline he'd been developing with Kaiyodo and Toytribe over the past two years. Nightow reflects on how fun it is to make things. He then says it's been fun, but the manga story will end in the next volume. He waves goodbye with Vash standing behind him.

== Notes ==

* The postscript comics from the Shonen Captain Comics Special ''Trigun'' volumes were never officially translated in English, as only the Young King Comics ''Trigun'' volumes were the versions that were translated and released by Dark Horse.
* ''Trigun Maximum'' volumes [[Trigun Maximum Volume 5: Break Out|5]], [[Trigun Maximum Volume 10: Wolfwood|10]], and [[Trigun Maximum Volume 14: Mind Games|14]] are the only ''tankōbon'' not to include postscript comics.
